...Discussion from Monterey...

Stronger, gustier winds will extend farther inland beginning Friday
night as a low pressure system moves inland. Gusts up to 25 mph are
expected in low elevations and gusts between 25 to 30 mph continue
in elevated terrain and coastal areas. Winds briefly transition
southwesterly ahead of frontal passage with northwesterly flow
returning by mid to late Saturday afternoon. This incoming low
pressure system will bring below average temperatures in the upper
50`s to lower 60`s through the weekend. Beneficial rainfall is
expected with 0.5-1.0 inches generally expected throughout the Bay
Area and 0.2-0.5 inches throughout portions of the Central Coast.
Looking ahead, quiet weather and gradually warming temperatures are
expected heading into the work week as high pressure returns.


Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified.
Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds.



...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard...

Northwest to northeast flow will remain prevalent through Friday,
with gusts of 20 to 40 mph common over the windier mountains,
deserts, and Central Coast. Humidities remain dry over the mountains
but improve some on Friday. A weak cold front will pass through the
area later Saturday, likely bringing light rain to San Luis Obispo
and Santa Barbara Counties and the northern mountain slopes.
Accumulations will stay below 0.25 inches. This will increase
humidities over the weekend. Winds will shift to southwest to west
on Saturday, then back to west to north on Sunday. Gusts of 30 to
50 mph will be common over most areas, strongest in the mountains,
Antelope Valley, and southwest Santa Barbara County.  warming and
drying should follow starting Monday. Northwest to northeast wind
gusts to 20 to 40 mph will be common especially the first half of
next week.
